Ingredients:

Apple smoked pulled pork

Ricotta cheese

Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the wood-fired oven
First, fire up the pizza oven- it needs about 30- 40 minutes to reach the temperature we want. If you are using the Infinity 50 or 66, open the gas valve and turn the temperature knob to Pilot and press the igniter button. When it ignites, you can set the temperature to high and then close the door. If using one of our wood-burning ovens stack a couple of chunks of wood on top of each other and insert a fire starter. Light it on fire and add a couple more chunks of wood once you have a good fire going.
Step 2: Cilantro Lime Crema
While the stone is heating up start on the cilantro lime crema.
- Add 15 ounces of Mexican sour cream into a bowl
- Add one tablespoon of cilantro
- Zest one lime and cut it in half to squeeze the juices into the bowl
- Stir this and set it aside.
Step 3: Crust
Use whatever type of pizza dough you desire! We have an amazing Artisan Style Dough Mix that makes an amazing homemade dough. We also have a delicious sourdough crust recipe on our blog! We have even used the store-bought roll out dough you can buy in the refrigerator section at the grocery store. Whatever you choose, form your crust into a 12-inch pizza. Make sure your pizza peel is thoroughly covered in flour so that the dough can easily slide off and into the oven.
Step 4: Toppings
- Start by spreading some ricotta cheese on the dough/crust
- Sprinkle on your mozzarella
- Add some apple smoked pulled pork
- Add plenty of thinly sliced red onions
Step 5: Bake it!
Once the stone is hot, it’s time to put the pizza in. We use one of our Infrared Thermometers to check the stone temperature and like to make sure it is around 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Quickly launch the pizza into the oven using your pizza peel. You will want to bake the pizza between 6-8 minutes. Turn it halfway through to make sure the crust rises and cooks evenly around the pizza.
Once it looks finished cooking, take the pizza out of the oven. Now add your favorite barbecue sauce and the lime cilantro crema. Lastly, garnish with some fresh cilantro on top!
Now that your pulled pork pizza has been baked to wood-fired perfection, it’s time to dig in! The smoky, melted cheese, and savory pulled pork create an unforgettable combination that’s both comforting and bold. This rustic, flavorful dish is a true crowd-pleaser, and sure to become a go-to favorite. Get Fired Up!
